It should be Justin's job. He saw improvement with each game. Seems like a good guy in the locker room and I would love to see him in a second year in this system.
@tyronewaters7117 God you people drive me crazy. If you don't see the difference fine but keep that to yourself. All the highlights are free on TH-cam. Fields wasn't amazing no but he 100% showed improvements. Literally Google bruh🤣🤣
it's so funny they brought in smith to improve the run game, his supposed specialty, and they finish worse in rushing than under matt fucking canada. why do talking heads never bring this up
I honestly think that is their best short term option right now. Doesn’t have to be long-term, but at least for next season I think that’s the best choice they have.
I don't see why they would not see if Justin can learn to play in a system like Lamar is in Baltimore. Why not see if you can beat them at their own game? You have your potential roll players on staff, and did all year. This is where the league has gone. Fields is a genetic specimen.
Im actually going to stay away from football this season ....until there is actually change___..i gotta resign as an avid steelers fan .... They just can't play against the great teams... And it's an obvious it's not made up... I'm not going to say Mike Tomlin is not the guy for the job but something in his system needs to change in his way of doing things... It's a 100% must
good interview Rich!!! In my opinion Gerry made a very accurate analyzation of the steeler teams' problems. I disagree about the offensive skill positions, to me are adequate are play off caliper. The push and protection was lacking cam hayward talked about technique has to get better, I agree bring in better line coaching. the line backers need a change, step up or go home that last game was embarrassing.
And Tomlin isn't? Look at all the off field drama that has gone on under Tomlin, then add in the failure to win a playoff game in eight seasons. You think he's any better for the locker room than Rodgers?
They have to rebuild its simple and fans have to just bear with it for a while. No good QBs out there in free agency or the draft class so you go with Fields next year and you get to see how he does. You have to trade some of the good players for draft picks. Sadly the Steelers don’t like to have a losing season but they have to get a QB in the 2026 draft and they go from there. If they stick with Arthur Smith they need a fast running back and they shoukd somewhat build a plan around Fields running and see where it goes
Tomlin is a great leader but at some point the message falls on deaf ears. A new voice is needed in the locker room. A Competent QB and OC would be nice too.
Start Fields next year, go 10-7, lose by 21 in the Wild Card, blame QB, get new QB, don’t develop him, wash rinse repeat. Rip the band aid off already and Fire Tomlin. National media will cover for him to the ends of the earth.
Yeah because Tomlin’s the problem. At the end of the day it’s about the “Jimmy and Joes not the Xs and Os” they need to mortgage the future and try and draft a young QB.
Need to re-sign Fields and Warren. That's number 1, number 2 is to fire defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. Hire Lou Anarumo as he is going to be leaps and bounds better than TA.
Coach T gets out coached every single time! Sad that Pittsburgh won’t see any more wins in the playoffs until he is gone. It’s kinda like this country won’t see any unity until the orange Julius is gone!
Lamar, Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow, Lamar again...QB driven league. What are we even talking about? Brady, Ben, Mannings....last 20 years how many QBs who arent elite have won Superbowl's? Only problem with keeping Tomlin is he is too good to get a top 5 pick because half the league is garbage.
Sadly they need a 3-14 type season to wake them up to a radical change but that may not be on the horizon . So it’s status quo for the foreseeable future .
Please don't pay Russell Wilson the GNP of a small country! Russell Wilson is all about himself, please get him out of Pittsburgh. Justin Fields is the best choice.
If you take away the gauntlet and the playoffs and look at a reasonable comparison… Fields: 4-2 in first six games and improved along the way except Dallas game. Mid-20s, one of the fastest QBs in League history, probable cost of 10-15 mil. Wilson: 5-1 in first six games, played mostly well. Mid-30s, and mobility is rapidly becoming Flacco-esque. Probably cost of 30 mil. Fields was one Wild/lucky 4th down touchdown by Dallas away from being 5-1 himself. I’d take Fields 100% over Darnold, a draft pick, Wilson, Cousins, whatever. Tomlin went gaga over Fields in his draft. Now Tomlin has him. See what he can really do!!!
In my mind the Very First Order of Business based on the Record (plain and simple) is the coaching. Tomlin has to let his OC and DC call the plays.. unleash their talent, trust their play calling . Secondly he needs have a forward thinking OC and DC , and not a couple of traditional 1960’s -1990’s thinkers. This is 2025. Mobility at QB is a must . Outside Speed in the RB is a must. Check out the tapes on Najee for example, he gives away his speed with that studder (side step ) he has a bad habit of making on almost every carry. Why hasn’t any coach corrected that glaring mis step. Najee has great inside potential and power but he needs to be coached. Every team we play knows that inherent weakness in his runnning style and they make him pay for it. Bottom lime, if Mike MUST STAY then get some new young Coordinators and allow them to play call. Austin must go, and Arthur must be given FULL REIGN on play calling .
Tomlin is unfortunately forgettable, he benefited from what was left behind, good for post game interviews, but you have to admit the fake Mike Tomlin is better than the real Mike Tomlin.
Steelers won’t get higher draft picks until they get a losing season. The entire team needs to rebuild and it starts with the coaching staff. Fire mediocre Mike.
Please release Patrick Queen and move up to get defensive tackle to replace Cam . They also need a Defense back and a big back on the third round. Piece by piece you have to build by up. It may be best to trade George Penkins and go after Tee from Cincinnati.
Fields will get us to 500 again and a 21st draft pic. So essentially no hope of a big time first rounder again. We have to stink and get a top 5 pic. Essentially a qb who can give us some hope. that’s really it. All the top teams now stunk before they got theirs. Except Baltimore.
The Steelers have no franchise QB and they don't have a top defense despite spending more on defense than any other team in the league. Expecting AFC playoff wins against Josh and Lamar is delusional.
Cut Najee keep Jalen and fields draft a rb,qb, wr,cb,dt I would trade watt for multiple draft picks including 1-5 pick along with it and a proven young qb or wr
This team has been so mismanaged over the past few years. I loved Tomlin but honestly, I do think his cliches have run their course. The moves they have made have been awful. Time for some major changes.
AGREED. People are trying to compartmentalize everything, and you can't. It's all intertwined, and it comes from the top. Regardless of players or coordinators involved, the results are identical every year.
This "Insider" is a fraud, he knows no more than the average fan. He is one who stated the Steelers had no interest in Russell Wilson, and would not trade for a QB. Someone tell Justin Fields he does not exist.
The city is ready for Tomlin to move on. This is sloppy, ugly football, and it has been such for several years. The team is not tough, not smart, and not particularly talented. We all know that Tomlin built this team. He’s done it badly . His speeches aren’t even good anymore. Somebody PLEASE make Tomlin and Rooney and offer they cannot refuse
They'll draft another Anthony McFarland-type RB to be the gimmick threat on Offense, because it worked in the mid-2000's. And it will work out about as much as Dri Archer did.
That’s why they should of stuck with Fields. Would have got a definitive answer on the direction the organization needs to go. Either you got something in Fields or you know you need to draft a guy in 25/26.
Steelers need Q.B.- R.B.-W.R. on Offense. Need a D.T.- C.B. on Defense. Need a new Defensive Coordinator. Vanilla schemes without creative blitzes
Gerry is the best in the business. I look forward to each and every time I get to hear from him.
Gerry is a fraud. He gets everything wrong. What you talking about
So you’re the one!!! 😂
Gerry is great the way he has to maneuver between the truth and his employer.
It should be Justin's job. He saw improvement with each game. Seems like a good guy in the locker room and I would love to see him in a second year in this system.
The super duper conservative system of not taking chances or throwing over the middle unless you’re down 20 in the 4th quarter system!!!! 😂😂
@@UmadBro88justin three over middle often.
@@tylerosborn2318 Fields showed ZERO improvement. They managed him to save him from himself. He could barely take a snap.
@tyronewaters7117 God you people drive me crazy. If you don't see the difference fine but keep that to yourself. All the highlights are free on TH-cam. Fields wasn't amazing no but he 100% showed improvements. Literally Google bruh🤣🤣
Exactly right, seems like a good guy and well liked
it's so funny they brought in smith to improve the run game, his supposed specialty, and they finish worse in rushing than under matt fucking canada. why do talking heads never bring this up
there must be something deeper, for heaven's sake we have been changing coordinators on a yearly basis.
I hope Fields gets the job next year
I honestly think that is their best short term option right now. Doesn’t have to be long-term, but at least for next season I think that’s the best choice they have.
He will
@ I love his game. OC loves him. Needs a couple of weapons.
I hope he does too, where I can hear you same people complain about how sorry he is playing next year. 😂
I don't see why they would not see if Justin can learn to play in a system like Lamar is in Baltimore.
Why not see if you can beat them at their own game? You have your potential roll players on staff, and did all year. This is where the league has gone. Fields is a genetic specimen.
Tomlin is arrogant and unaccountable. This is his roster, culture, scheme etc.
the guy is so predictable which leads to predictable results.

Arthur Smith offensive isn't it
As A Canadian-Steelers Fan we need help & firing mike isn't the answer💯👍
Thanks. Your Canadian cowardice confirmed he needs to be fired. 😂
@UmadBro88 no he doesn't we need a overhaul roster wise & firing mike t isn't the answer
@@bencromwell707 Mike T built this roster!!!
@@UmadBro88I Am not sure about that

His allegiance to Najee was ridiculous 4 yrs of him being a average RB and unchallenged at the position
NO Aaron Rogers, HE's done, He's a poison in any locker room.
And Tomlin isn't? Look at all the off field drama that has gone on under Tomlin, then add in the failure to win a playoff game in eight seasons. You think he's any better for the locker room than Rodgers?

Resign Fields, draft defensive line in the first round. I think Roman Wilson can be the missing WR2 for us opposite of Pickens.
I am not too pumped about suits LA too, Greg… me too
Tomlin is a great leader but at some point the message falls on deaf ears. A new voice is needed in the locker room. A Competent QB and OC would be nice too.
Gerry Dulac is way more of a cool dude than Ed Bouchette.
They could take the qb from Texas if they wanted. He’s predicted to go in 2nd round. Would be an upgrade over Skyler Thompson
I don't get why everyone keeps talking up Arthur Smith. I know he's not Canada, but the bar shouldn't be that low
You get 2 QB's for the spark in the middle of the season. The Tomlin special
Average ticket $378 a game. Are you people crazy to watch this junior varsity crap.
@@thomasantolovich357 is it really that expensive? I don't know, never been. God to watch that garbage?

Can’t develop a Qb who’s already played 4 seasons. Fields is TRASH
Yeah because Tomlin’s the problem. At the end of the day it’s about the “Jimmy and Joes not the Xs and Os” they need to mortgage the future and try and draft a young QB.
Amen

Yeah bc that’s worked so well for the Pirates

Not 63 to 0 1st quarter of last 5 playoff games. T.J. Watt scored a touchdown versus Chiefs and it was 7 to 0 Steelers end of first quarter 😂🎉.

What about Alex Smith and Blake Bortles!?? 😂😂😂
Add to that they face 2 of the 4 best QB's in the league in their division to with Lamar and Burrow.
You can always count on the fact that half the time Gerry is wrong all the time. 🤡

Landman is the fuckin awesome.
He never has his best 22 on the field always have personal projects trying to prove the media wrong
Steelers is a trainwreck. Poor football decisions, bad philosophy, bad ownership, bad draft picks, nepotism. Poor coaching. Straight disaster
And a DEI hire that you can't criticize. It's obvious Tomlin's not a great coach, he's an ok coach, middle of the pack in the league.
This season ended disappointing as hell, but they are absolutely NOT a trainwreck. Jesus, get some perspective.
AGREED. People are trying to compartmentalize everything, and you can't. It's all intertwined, and it comes from the top. Regardless of players or coordinators involved, the results are identical every year.
Hope we finish last next season. Tomlin resigns. Drew Allar is drafted and becomes the 3rd Steelers QB to have a hall of fame career. You’re welcome.
Drew Allar sucks
fields will not solve this problem
